Yes, Tyg (the cat) is fond of yarn, thread, etc. I think he would like to learn to knit perhaps?<br />3. Haven't really cabled in years, but no, don't cheat.<br />4. Definitely do NOT listen. It's a problem.<br />5. No kits...though once I purchased a bundle of yarn that was put together for a shawl pattern that was in a calendar. Years ago. Still wear that thing to death especially this time of year in the house. And, I must say it looks lovely with sweat pants and a sweat shirt - lol.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-82655364242239190402016-01-05T04:16:46.856-06:002016-01-05T04:16:46.856-06:00I definitely, definitely fall for knit kits, but o...I definitely, definitely fall for knit kits, but only when they're on sale. At full price, I can easily resist... but at a sale price, like when the Knitpicks kits go on sale... no contest!

Do you have to hide your knitting from your pets?<br />I tend to do hide it, although they've never really done anything bad with it. But I don't trust the cat at all, she's a chewer of things (not a good combination with knitting)<br /><br />3. Do you Cheat when you cable?<br />Usually yes, it's just much simpler isn't it?<br /><br />4. Do you not really listen to your family when you are knitting intensely? or blogging? or buying yarn on line?<br />Very guilty of this one.. I got so good at pretending to listen that I don't think they notice though..<br /><br />5. Do you fall for Knit kits?<br />Never done that, I always think I can find a cheaper way.Tahneehttp://www.woollenwilderness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-48430028589374551202016-01-04T21:33:29.388-06:002016-01-04T21:33:29.388-06:001.

I scare strangers.<br />2. Everyday last week I had to clean up a yarn mess and/or wash knitted items the boogers ravaged in the night. You'd think I'd learn.<br />3. I do cheat cables. It makes my head hurt trying to keep track. I hate keeping track of my knitting. I just want to knit.<br />4. I never listen to anyone ever anyway. It drives The Mister crazy. I live in my own world most of the time and I'm very happy there.<br />5. I own almost every knit kit Knit Picks has put out and was thinking about buying another one with my Christmas gift certificates. How many have I even taken out of the bag? One so far. It was a cotton market bag. I even bought three baby sweater kits before I even had grandkids. They are all for girls and I have two grandsons. Go figure.<br />Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-85526503481487679482016-01-04T19:58:21.790-06:002016-01-04T19:58:21.790-06:00Beautiful to see the cardinals against the snow. ...Beautiful to see the cardinals against the snow. Here they flock in the East Palatka Holly tree!<br />I don't hide yarn-I just pick up after the cat attacks; I listen mostly to my husbnd while knitting; he talks a LOT so even when not knitting , I am at 80% attention span.<br />I have fallen for kits and been disappointed every time so far. I like my own ideas at this age and stage of knitting! lolDelighted Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289187765260532813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-42731629654132657792016-01-04T19:20:06.276-06:002016-01-04T19:20:06.276-06:00Happy New Year Kathy. I will answer because you ar...Happy New Year Kathy. I will answer because you are you and because it's fun :)<br />1. I have many bad habits. I'm struggling to pick one. But I'll give you a gross honest one since we are being friends. I nervously scratch or pick the back of my neck when I'm well .. nervous. ha!<br />2. I don't have a pet if we are not counting The Husband and The Kid. However I have to hide my knitting from my butt. I have sat on more US 2 and US 1.5 needles and broken them than I care to admit to. Yeah, a lot. It's like I bought stock!<br />3. I'm not sure how to cheat when you cable, so I think that means I don't. I don't mind cabling, though it does take some focus for me.<br />4. I usually do listen to them unless ... I'm counting or there is some complex area of pattern, but like you, I fess up to it, and ask them to repeat or that I didn't hear them. I will readily admit to barking rather crustily, "I'M COUNTING!!"<br />5. I have fallen for knit kits. Once or twice. I have repurposed the yarn. I doubt I'll be doing that again anytime soon!elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-20291959908988405322016-01-04T18:17:58.163-06:002016-01-04T18:17:58.163-06:00The cowl is ravishing!!

1. Bad habit? Swearing.
2. Mama say...LOL. Loved #4.<br />1. Bad habit? Swearing.<br />2. Mama says NO to the wants of pets by the crew. So don't have to worry about an animal jackin' up my yarn.<br />3. Most patterns are kept track of via the Bee Count app so when I was cabling A Purple Scootering Streak, this chica was on top of that.<br />4. I sometimes give the child or husband a "look" when I'm engrossed in knitting. When I'm counting stitches, I typically count louder.<br />5. Never bought a knit kit b/c like you, yeah, I'm too damn cheap. I'd rather choose my own yarn.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-62803911772152400342016-01-04T16:01:57.431-06:002016-01-04T16:01:57.431-06:001.

He doesn't unravel or chew up, he just drags the yarn around the room and somehow ties it to furniture and his toys. <br /><br />3. I haven't done many project with cables lately, but when I do I stick with the pattern and count faithfully. It's a drag, which is why I don't do cables often.<br /><br />4. I listen! Of course I do! Hahahaha....<br /><br />5. Never bought a knit kit. I don't know why, but the idea holds no interest for me. I guess it's because I have to touch and choose the yarn for each project.<br /><br />Interesting post Kathy!

My dog does not bother my crochet or knit projects.. neither did my cat when alive although I was constantly picking her long hair out of my work.. don't miss that!<br />3. I tried cabling.. once.. :-)<br />4. I don't listen a lot.. while reading, while watching tv, while crocheting/knitting... :-)<br />5. I did buy a kit to knit a doll from Susan at Mary Jane's Tea Room.. but haven't started it yet.Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-75407678233909156492016-01-04T14:39:33.014-06:002016-01-04T14:39:33.014-06:001.

I did however have to zip my knitting bag closed whenever I was around my nephew's dog. She LOVED my wool too much and wanted to play fetch with the balls. <br />3. I avoid knitting cables. I can knit them - I just don't like the look of them. <br />4. I never listen when I'm counting stitches, and my sister has learned never to tempt to talk to me when I'm counting. <br />5. I don't buy knit kits.

I never had to hide my knitting from my other two cats - but this one I have now - definitely yes!! <br /><br />3. Cheat at cables? I only cable to the front. If it says do it to the back - I do it to the front. If it says cable front AND back - well, that pattern does not get made by me!<br /><br />4. I pretend to listen when my husband talks to me while knitting - nodding my head and saying uh huh uh huh - while I stay in the knitting/counting zone!<br /><br />5. No, I do not buy kits - way too pricey for me!!<br /><br />Linda in VALindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533063136544231663noreply@blogger.com
